ComradeStalin:

Iam sending on to you a letter from Comrade Anikst,
who attacked me yesterday (18/V). He is offended,
embittered, alarmed. He is nervous, he is sick. I advised him to
complete his treatment and to keep a grip on his nerves.
He seems to be a good worker. His treatment should becompleted in Germany or in Riga. (Nothing will come out
in
Russia.)”[1]

[1]Writtenon the reverse side of a letter from A. M. Anikst, Deputy
People’s Commissar for Labour, of May 18, 1922, asking Lenin,“in conformity”  with their talk, to take steps to have the
question of his nominal removal from the Collegium of the P.C.L.,
in view of his recruitment for local work, left open pending his
return after receiving medical treatment. He also asked that
his dispatch for medical treatment should be expedited.

OnMay 27, 1922, the Secretariat of the R.C.P.(B.) Central
Committee confirmed the foregoing decision to send Anikst and
his wife for medical treatment to the Caucasus for a period of
six weeks.
